Well, Lyme Disease from a tick you would see a bullseye!. I think every Lyme Disease case you would see a bullseye!. I don't think you do have it, but just make a doctor look at it just in case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lyme Disease is usually carried by deer ticks, not leeches!. You probably just have a bug bite of some sort on your toe!. Not a big deal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
